This week I am exploring the decorative uses of daikon radish. These fabulous stand-up eyes are thick slices of radish, aren't they cool? So far A-chan isn't convinced that radishes are food, but one day I will get her to concede. In the meantime we are both loving the new uses I'm finding for them and I'm enjoying A-chan's leftover radish pickles!
In the bento: A Morningstar Farms Chik Patty sandwich with mayo, cheese, curly lettuce and radish eyes. There is also half of a cherry tomato, two orange slices and two small pieces of baby corn.
The toad's noses are black sesame seeds. The mouth and pupils are nori, affixed by small amounts of mayo. I sacrificed the other half of the tomato to cut peel for the toad's cheeks. This was one of our rare dinner bentos, meant to be eaten in the car on the way to dance class. Yum!
